Teresa greeted us and was a wonderful Server! The food was hot and delicious and we both enjoyed our omelets, mine came with home fries and Dave's with warm fluffy pancakes! Not to mention a never ending pot of fresh coffee! read more

IHOP - Inside! - American Near Me - STARKE, Florida

It's been years since I've stopped here in Starke (old location) but today's breakfast was exceptional. Poblano omelette with a side of pancakes (3). Pancakes were perfect. Hot, butter on top, delicious. The omelette was large and could not finish it. We will stop again read more

Great food, friendly service, and a clean environment. It's exactly what we were looking for!

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend stopping in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. There's so many delicious options here!

Came into the lobby for someone to seat us. We waited and waited. A waitress was cleaning tables and would not look our direction. I believe she knew we were there. We left will not return again. VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!! read more

I recently revisited IHOP this past week and found the services to be much better. We were seated quickly. The server was spot-on with service and attentiveness. The food came out hot and fresh. I was very impressed with the ease of the dining room. They set it up so that I could move with ease with my mobility issue plus I loved seeing they had handicap-accessible tables. Overall, a much better experience, and love all the handicap-accessible details to this place. A definite win for the mobility struggle community. read more

To begin with, there were people waiting outside, inside and up by the register both seated and standing trying desperately to get a table! I'm sorry, but if most people are masked when they come in, there's dividers between the tables (and I mean on the backs of the booth seats, making them pretty high)...why not seat the available tables instead of every other one? No one does that anymore for Pete's sakes! We were told about 10 minutes to wait and it ended up being more like 30 minutes since they were leaving half the tables empty...when we were finally seated, I was forced to slide through crumbs on the UN-wiped seat. Now that irks me. You're worried about germs, but you don't even decently wipe off tables or seats? Are you kidding me?? As you can tell, this wasn't starting out at the beginning to be a good visit and it only got worse from there. We both ordered sandwiches (I'm allergic now to eggs, or I'd have ordered a breakfast of some kind -- I really miss my eggs) with a side. Mine were onion rings and his was two pancakes. My burger was the BBQ burger and his was a chicken sandwich. After about 20 minutes, our order did finally come out. Both of our sandwiches were cold...so were my onion rings, which had turned into rocks by the time I got them. They were so hard I had to pull them off my burger because they wouldn't even squish down enough to make the burger the size a human being could take a bite of! My hubby's pancakes were slightly warm he says...at least for the whipped butter to melt...but my sandwich, the BBQ burger had basically no bbq sauce on it at all! Talk about a tasteless, dry burger! I asked for more bbq sauce and something different from the cup of coffee I had to start with. The bbq sauce finally came after about another 10 minutes, but the Arnold Palmer with unsweet tea came finally about 15 minutes after that. However, it was only unsweet tea. No lemonade. I was charged for the Arnold Palmer. I never got an Arnold Palmer...neither did my hubby who gets his with sweet tea --also received only tea. For the outrageous price we were charged for below standard food, the agonizing waits and the horrible incorrect beverages along with the incessant crying, yelling and screaming from someone's little girl, it was a completely miserable and lackluster visit. Seems they have TONS of room for improvement. I hope they do soon or they will only have their regulars from the local retired community to visit. Since it's kind of a small parking lot, it made it hard to find a spot, although it's right off the main Hwy. The floors were in desperate need of sweeping or vacuuming, the other floors sticky with syrup or something and tables and seats not being cleaned properly. Ultimately? YUCK. OH OH OH!!! Just went into my Facebook and guess what my memory was back in 2016? Of going to this exact IHOP and having such a horrible experience, the MANAGER actually had everything compted. Now THAT is ridiculous after five years to the date, a customer comes back and has yet another horrible experience?? Pictures proving the date and our vehicle we'd just gotten at an auction parked on the side of the building (screen grab) and then the reply to one of my friends who commented on how much he loved pancakes (2nd screen grab, omitting his name). read more

I am so giving this place huge kudos!!! showed up with 19. 14 grandkids and 5 adults. They opened the party room for us. 1 server and I won't attempt to butcher her beautiful name. The cooks were on it with the orders and made a great painless for us Sunday dinner. Thank You!! read more

Food was really good for the type of place that it is. We all ordered Omelets and Sandwiches and Everybody enjoyed EVERYTHING!!!!

there were four of us for lunch. all their food was delicious and we had a very nice restful afternoon.

Was not impressed. Food and service was not what it use to be. I won't be back Service was slow and food looked like microwave. read more

Mid at best. You know what you are getting into when you go to IHOP. My steak tips was sweet? Why sweet ? Idk it just ruined it for me. My server was so nice. Great clean place. But the food was not what it should be. Probably will not eat here again. Also my toast was basically a crouton read more

This is the best place for breakfast in Starke. Keri, our server was great, very friendly and fun! We got our food hot and prepared perfectly, my over easy eggs were over easy! The food is great, service wonderful and atmosphere very friendly and welcoming. Best of all, the coffee was awesome! read more

We love, love, love this IHOP. Even though we live in Gainesville, Fl, we have been traveling to the IHOP in Starke, Fl since it opened. It's much cleaner, brighter, the service and food is off better quality and the experience is great!!!! read more

IHOP - The cupcake pancakes!!!! - American Near Me - STARKE, Florida

Another quick lunch stop while traveling. I ordered grilled chicken with avocado and I did not like the side of fruit. It looks nothing like the picture of fresh fruit, it's a soggy mess. But the sandwich was good. RJ ordered turkey club and the kids had pancakes and a burger. It's a good, quick place to stop with some variety. read more

Went on a mIni vacation for the weekend to visit a dear friend and stubbled upon this gem late at night. I ordered my usual of French toast with scrambled eggs, bacon and hash browns. Everything was cooked to perfection. No complaints from me. They didn't disappoint. The service was fast and pleasant. The restaurant looks tidy and well kept. Overall, will be hitting this place up again next time wee are in town. read more

Britney Hayden not sure if I spelled her last name right but she was very rude to me. She was bothered by the fact that I asked her for coffee then a cup. She grabbed the coffee and the cup on my table and told me coffee put the pot down then grab the cup and said to me cup! and that there's a difference. Wow I was speechless. When I went to pay I ask her why she was so rude to me and she said that I was the one who was rude and that I was lucky she was working otherwise she would woop me outside. At this point, I asked for a supervisor explain how rude she was to me and supervisor was going to have a talk with her. I immediately call to report this incident on the survey. read more

Worst service ever today. The waitress was slow and forgot things and didn't even listen to our request. We never got checked on to see how we were doing and we ran out of beverages twice. Terrible service today all around. read more

My husband and I went this morning and ended up walking out. The waitress sat us in a squished little tiny table with a group one foot from us, despite the fact that there were other places we could have been seated. It was extremely awkward and uncomfortable. Our thoughts were that the waitress seated us in this way for her convenience and not necessarily our comfort. It was so awkward for both my husband and I and the other group that we just decided to leave and let them have the space. Get a clue ihop employees. No one can enjoy a meal cramped up on other people! read more

Just like any place you eat, you really need to watch what goes on around you. I have to jack the Hop down a star because of something I observed. I was sitting with my LDC and noticed one of the wait staff walking toward my table with a bunch of pre-rolled utensils (the ones in paper napkins) that we all use. She was holding about 16 of them against her chest in route to set some tables that had just been cleared. Only problem is, she dropped one. Not only that, she kicked it with her foot and it slid a few feet on the floor. I knew she would set that one aside, but color me stupid. She picked it up and put it back in the batch she was carrying and carefully set four tables with them. Some unsuspecting diner did eventually use that napkin to wipe their mouth with that day. Made me want to ask her if she would have? read more

Such a disappointment! We stopped here after a Gator game, there were four of us. The place had a few tables, seriously mabye three tables ocupied and then us. There seem to be plenty of wait staff available. Not sure what the problem was! We were seated right away! But then we waited and waited for our drinks... and I was one thirsty momma! Finally, after our throats were quenched... they come to take our order and we ask for refills. Then we waited and waited... did I mention that we waited??? for some reills!?! But that was nothing! Our dinner seemed to take an eternity! Each of our plates came out one at a time and not right behind eachother... but with much time between. The little one ordered a simple plate of pancakes... and his was the very last to come out! Really??? Come on Ihop! The quality of food was exactly what you would expect from a chain. Nothing amazing but not bad either. It is all about comfort at these places anyways. I can't say that we won't eat at an Ihop again, because of course we will! The service at this location just needs a ton of work! read more

I was worried because of the other reviews but it was excellent service and great food. I'm a very picky eater and want my food exactly one way, our server brought it out and it was perfect it's like she read my mind. The portions seemed just a bit small but we were fat and happy when we left! read more

The restaurant was clean and service was prompt and friendly. The food was hot and fresh and very tasty.

Been here several times because there's not much around here to choose from. Not a very good place to eat. Mediocre service, dismal food, scorched omelettes, and way overpriced. read more

Lovely clean restaurant with easy acces which is a plus in Stark,Fl. They offer so much more than just breakfast. Had the roasted turkey sandwich with bacon, lettuce and tomato on a fresh marbled bread..huge sandwich, I took half home. The fries were scrumptious.we will be back when traveling north again. read more

We were greeted, we had a good waitress named Sharon. It was not crowded enough to wait 30 minuets for some greasy burgers.

Usually this is me and my fiancé's favorite place but I literally had the worst experience here tonight and for that matter ever at any time. I wish I had an email address I could email this to rather than leave a review but I can't find one. First, let's start with the floor was covered with water from a water leak from the vent in the ceiling. 2 waitresses began to argue and cuss each other out for about 15 minutes in front of me and my family, as well as about 8 more tables full of families and couples. Then completely disappeared and then would come back but on the phone with what I guess was a manager. My order was wrong and parts of my order was missing and my waitress Jessica said tips and eggs don't come with pancakes. Yes mam they do. I thought before I left the 2 waitresses were going to start fist fighting so we quit eating and left. Horrible. Where is the Manager? read more

Food took forever to get to the table. We came into the restaurant, not during a busy hour & came from a long day at work. Did not get greeted for our first 15 minutes. After we got seated & ordered, others that were seated after us got food before us & we had to remind our server for our food. We noticed they were low on staff, but if they had a better communication system , it could've went smoother. Moving on, when my eggs first arrived , they were over cooked , so I had to wait on our food. A lot of unsanitary actions were also witnessed as well & I was disappointed in the servers for that. My friend had cold eggs after we waited forever for our "hot food." The quality of their food was average but could've been a lot up to the Ihop server. After waiting a while for our checks, our waitress mixed up our checks , which made it harder for us to figure out us paying for it. Also not the waitress fault , but the to-go trays are trash. I know how the industry works, because I've been in it, so please improve! But we will not be attending this location again. & the bathrooms were dirty. read more

This place is a joke. Went today and walked out along with many others. Customers were standing at front desk and no one comes to seat us or even to notice or care that we are there. No surprise, its always like that.The wait staff seem very tired. read more

I came in and waited 15 minutes to be seated. There were only about 4 tables occupied. It then took another five minutes for The waiter to get our drink order, and another five minutes for a drink come out after that. From there other tables had been seated, drinks accommodated, and refilled before he came by to check if we needed refills (that were never brought out). People who had come in after us received their food and even their checks before we got food. Very poor experience, going to the one in Fleming Island from now on. read more

This is a great place to eat good people and good food some people just gotta be patient when they order there food and not treat this place like a fast food place when it is busy as could be just be patient and conversation and enjoy it read more

SLOWWWWW. We walked in after a Gator game and it was fairly empty. Took forever to get drinks, then refills. The server was nice and trying, but he seemed new. He had to keep asking our order to make sure he got it right. Then the waiting ensued! There was four of us and all of our orders came out separately. None of our orders was complicated for some reason they all came out a different times. And the poor little guy with us got his pancakes and bacon last. It was cold and you could tell it had been sitting and waiting for the server to bring it to us. They really need some training at this location, I normally like an IHOP but may avoid this location next time. read more

Slow. Always slow . Breakfast food is good though. Great space for large groups.

The absolute worst service stood at counter waiting to get seated and all they would do is walk by and say we will be with you in a minute. After 20 minutes and 10 times of hearing we will be with you in a minute we left along with several others. I just felt sorry for the guy waiting at the register to pay for his meal the whole time. They were not even busy read more

Very busy, but they got our food to us quickly and it tasted good. What I didn't like was the need for the waitress to pressure us into buying some trinket because whomever sells the most gets Christmas Day (or Eve...can't remember) off work. read more

Could not give lower than one star but if I could I would have. Have to fight to get them to charge me the right price but after the fight with the order I decided to have coffee only. Would never step foot in that place again. Never had problems there before. So gather is an administrative problem read more

Great service food hot and always a great place to stop on my way through stark to Jacksonville FL.

Waited on food for an hour. Waitress was very friendly but wait was ridiculous. Food was good.

I don't know if they are under new management but we went today and I was blow away with great service and food. I have had bad experience in the past but today was amazing. We were greeted upon entering, My food was hot my drink stayed full, my check was delivered and processed promptly and we were told thanks come back on the way out. I hope they keep up the good work. read more
